The Guerrilla Girls at the Contemporary
Since the mid-1980s, the Guerrilla Girls have fought for equality in art, politics, and culture through billboard and poster campaigns, books, and public appearances. The quirky, satirical nature of their books and posters carries over to their public appearances, which border on performance art (airborne bananas are often part of the evening!).

Artists to declare death of postmodernism
"Post-Ironic Lull," a multi-media art exhibit featuring works by UMSL faculty and other artists
Following the ideas laid out by Minsoo Kang, assistant professor of history at UMSL, in his essay "The Death of the Postmodern and the Post-Ironic Lull," the artists will both mourn and celebrate the end of the postmodern period by exhibiting artwork associated with the cultural period after the end of the postmodernism, known as the post-ironic lull. A reception for the artists will take place at 7 p.m. Dec. 2 at the UMSL Galaxy. Kang will lead a panel discussion at noon Dec. 3 at the gallery.
